We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday and the Etoile dated Thursday evening. The French Funds had risen on Wednesday, the Five per Cents. to 100 f. 10c., and the Three per Cents. to 72f. 25c. It is stated from Vienna and Bucharest that the SUL TA N had ratified the Convention of Akermann before the expiration of the stipulated period of four weeks. The news from Greece in these papers is generally of a more, favourable aspect. A great number of the inhabitants of Rumelia have again rebelled against the Porte.

The following extract contains come infor mation on the state of affairs at Monte Video : New Yosta, Ocr. 25.—The ship Hamilton, arrived at Salem, brings dates from Monte Video to the 25th of August. Commodore Brown, as was before stated, bad gone overland to join the Chilian squadron. He had a body of seamen with him, and was to meet the ships at Babia Blanca. It is said, that in his last engagement with the Brazilians, he was not supported by his own vessels, and that his ship, The Fifth of May, is con sidered unfit to be repaired. Several of the Brazilian vessels had . 4110 gone into Monte Video to repair ; and Captain Grenfell, of the ,:eabodo, has had his, arm amputated at the shoulder. Monte Video continues closely invested by 700 cavalry, and provisions are very scarce. The garrison is 3,500 itrong, chiefly infantry ; and . Colonial, almost the only position now occupied by the Imperialists in the other parts of the province, contain 1,000 • Or 1,200. In consequence of the report that the Buenos Ayreans ►ntditate an invasion of Rio Grande, General Le tar was soon to leave Monte Video to take command at Santa Ana, the head quarters, where, it is said, there are 3,000 cavalry, and 5,000 in fantry. The Patriot head-quarters are at Durazno, SO leagues from that place, and 30 from Monte Video. The paper currency has depreciated at Buenos Ayres, so that a doubloon is worth 26 Paper dollars. We received this morning the Austrian Observer of the 13th inst., which contains some further parti culars of the depredations committed by Greek pirates, Its Well on Austrian as other European vessels:— , • • TIMM, 140 V. 7. , a vessel which arrived here on the 3d o f Nov em b er , in t en %LYN, from Tchesme, we learn that the Austrian brig Buona Captain Paola Giurovich, which sailed from Alexandria convoy, was attacked by a Greek brig, which plundered It of part of its cargo and gear. Several English and Russian, and four Austrian vessels, have been attacked by Greek pirates off the coast of Caramania, and robbed of part of their cargo. fly the same arrival we learn that the Austrian brigantine, Contessa Porcia, Captain Vacassovich, bad been attacked near C erigo, by two Greek pirates, a mistic and a trotta. The crew of the brigantine defended themselves bravely and repulsed the pirate, who had already boarded them. In this engagement, in which the pirates were very roughly handled, one man of the crew of the brigantine was killed, and another mortally wounded. Nov:4..—l3yanother ship which has likewise arrived in ten !Jay a from Tchemne, we learn that Gen. Marquis Paulucci sailed ( 'll the 4th of last month, with two other Austrian ships of war, its it was reported, to Scopolo, in order to demand satisfaction from the authorities there for the robberies committed on our '''ldlanimen. The Austrian Imperial brig Orion met a pirate atu gave c h ase . Th e p i rate fl e d to the Isle of Themia, where it wax li t l i c k ed and taken by the lo n g-b oa t o f th e b r i g .

There were two shocks, the o ' n el3 ( l more Severe than the first, and the duration of each about Cop minut e .

Now this shows clearly the jeopardy in which the eharacter of a man is placed by the wanton latitude 01 our law s . It w o u ld m a ke 110 difference whether the party were married or not, the oath of the woman is conclusive ; and a ludicrous instance of its absurdity occurred not long ago, where worthy Magistrate was puzzled to m a k e a girl swear the child to the illegal owner, but she not having A l",bably been able to make up her mind upon so `Letieate a subject, told his worship of her difli ",`'ltTe--and as the law required that some one must la "c ungied out from the host of her admirers, the "iegistrat e very gravely insisted that she must name e, no matter whom,—then replied the happy girl, we ar it to your worshi 3 "--thereby affordin g a Nutiful ill ustration to his Worship and the wonder -41 Elder s of the Parish, how impartially the laws ; °14 (1 be administered !

His character to a 4 is everythi ng ; and how many blameless characters "twn) or may be, ruined, by the false-swearing of an infamous woman, too surely supported by the relent less persecution of the parish ? And these evils . must still occur while there exists a law to enable wretches to forswear themselves, and justices to commit men to prison unless they submit to bear the brand of for nication, and perhaps adultery, by satisfying the ra pacity of the woman or the demand of the parish, which are nearly synonymous terms. A case occurred the other day at Guildhall where the woman had been committed twelve months to the House of Correction, although the child was not chargeable to the Parish !' But the harshness of this case having eked forth the wonder of many and the indignation of more, the woman and the father of the child were both biOught before . the Aldermen yesterday, and though the child was fully provided for, yet the Magistrates could not remit the sentence ; but the woman was told that she should have every attention paid to her in prison, and that if in due time the Governor of the House of Correction made a favourable report of her good be haviour and reformation, their Worships could order her liberation. The parish officers were as inflexible as bloodhounds in their strict adherence to the dead letter of the law. Indeed we are assured that no thing gives them more joy than the announcement or the prospect 'of an illegitimate stranger in their parish, for it will afford ample opportunity of show ing off their inquisitorial impertinence. But the folly, of allowing women to swear conclusively against in nocent men, is not greater than the abuse of parish authority, in consigning women to prison, who are able to provide for their own offspring. In the West of En gland the other day, a lady was sent to prison, because she would not satisfy the curiosity of the parish as to the name of the father of her child. And we know that some years ago a lady had been compelled to deposit seventy pounds in the hands of the parish as an indemnity against her child becoming chargeable before seven years, at the expiration of which time the parish had the effrontery to keep the money, because the bank in which it had been deposited had failed. So much for the honesty of that busy meddling class—the officers of a parish—and the iniquitous tendency of that abominable statute—the law of bastardy. Major Willock has : arrived, this morning, at the East India House, overland, from India. It is re ported that this officer has broUght the long pending Treaty between this country and Persia. It is important to the shippers of goods to he informed of the absolute necessity of Consular certificates accompanying the in voice of goods to Mexico, for the want of which one or two Ame rican vessels have been seized at Vera Crux. Letters have been received from Marseilles to-day, to the 17th inst. They state, that Lord Cochrane will certainly proceed again to Greece, as soon as he shall have been supplied with a naval force sufficiently large to cope with . the Turkish squadron. His Lordship had been in treaty for the purchase of a large cor vette, mounting .54 guns, for the service of the Greeks, which had been just launched at Marseilles. A larger sum had been offer ed for the corvette by the Pacha of Egypt, and the latter was of course the successful bidder. It is understood in the City, that negociations are pending be tween the Greeks and Turks for a cessation of hostilities : but that the former will not accede to the terms proposed. Two of the steam-boats intended for the Greeks are now nearly ready for sea. The power of one of them is to be tried in a day or two; and of the other, in the course of next week.—Morniny Chronicle.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY.—(This DAY.) rRiNCELYN v. BANE OF ENGLAND. His Lonnsuir thought the best course to be adopted in this case, would be to have a case directed to the Court of King's Bench, that Would surround all the points. APPLICATION BY A FEMALE SUITOR. A female this morning, at the sitting of the Court, apparently not in very affluent circumstances, handed up a letter to the Court, His LORDSHIP wished to know whether the letter was in her own hand writing? The female informed the Court it was. His LORDSHIP was quite sure that in many cases of this kind individuals made a business of writing letters, which letters they knew very• well could not be attended to. The party was led, by the plausibility of their statements, to suppose the Court could attend to them, but it was quite evident it could not. His Lord ship was sure that many letters written to him were not at all in the style of those whose names were put to them, and such things were carried on in a way extremely oppressive to those on whose behalf the letters were written. 'VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(THIS DAY.) NEWDIGATIC V. NEWDIGATE. The only question in this cause was the construction of a passage in the will of the late Sir Roger Newdigate. The testa tor, in his will, restricts a tenant for life from cutting down any timber growing in the parks, avenues, demesne lands, and woods, adjoining the capital messuage of Arberg. The point which his Honour had to decide was, what the testator meant by the woods " adjoining" the capital rummage of Arberg, there being no dis pute as to the other parts of the passage. Mr. SHADWELT, for the plaintiff, contended that the will pro tected all the timber growing in the parks, avenues, and upon what the Court may determine to be demesne lands, as well as all timber growing upon whatmay not be demesne lands, but having avenues through them, and all timber growing on lands not having avenues through, but which was contribuiing to the ornament, shelter, or convenience of the family mansion, When our reporter left the Court, Counsel were going through the evidence, which was very voluminous. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Tis I)* Y. ) The Lord Chief Justice has not as yet sufficiently recovered from the accident which he met with on Thursday to be able to attend in Court. Mr. Justice BA ILLY sat until eleven o'clock heating undefended causes. THE TING V. ELLIS. The defendant in this sue been convicted of stealing from the till of a shop in which he was employed, 61. at the last itemizes for Devon. He was brought up yesterday for judgment, when Counsel were heard for arrest thereof, being brought up to-day again Counsel were heard in reply, and the Court were of opinion that there were not sufficient grounds to arrest judgment. Mr. Justice BAILEY then passed the sentence of the Court, which was that the prisoner he transported for the term of 7 years. He was then removed from the bar. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—(Tits Day.) Before business commenced this morning,, the Cum' Junlce announced the following order of Court:— " It is ordered, that from and after the last day of this term, in every cue wherein notice shall be given of justifying the bail before put in, or either of them, the names and description of such bail shall be inserted, and that it shall not be sufficient to state generally, that the bail before put in (without naming them) intend to justify, and that in default thereof, bail shell not be per mitted to justify." MARTIN r. LADY stooar. In this case, which was tried after last Trinity Term, at 'West minster, an order was issued by the Court on the plaintiff, to grant a release in favour of the defendant, and all claims against her, as executrix of the late Lord Henry Moore, upon her paying 5001. within two mouths of the date of the miler. Mr. Sergeant Sp.awksz, for the defendant, this dap stated, that his client was perfectly ready to obey the order, but that, subse quently to its date, the plaintiff wished to introduce into the release a discharge of eime transactions with the Marquis of Drogheda, which had no earthly connection with this cue. The Learned Sergeant therefore begged to move' for a rule to chew cause why the money should not be paid on the release ordered by the Court being,granted. The Cmzr JUSTICE—Take a rule to chew cause. COURT OF EXCHEQUEIL(Tins DAY.) THE CUSTOM HOUSE. TUE tiNO IR - !IMO: it will be recollected by our readers, that this cause was tried list term, and * verdict given of en. ism,e on the part of the. Crown, and others on the part of the defendant. The first issue on the part of the Crown WILS, that there was a stratum of gravel on which the foundation might have been built. This morning, Mr. Scasurr and Mr. DENMA N attended on a rule to show cause why judgment should not be entered up for the Crown. Mr. Searlett read the specification, and contended, that it was no specification at all, that it only set forth that cer tain actions were to be performed at the direction of a sur veyor appointed by the Commissioners, consequently the performance rested on the direction of the surveyor and not on the specification. After some farther comments he added, that on one.occasion Mr. Peto gave notice to Mr. Lang the surveyor, that in his opinion, that piling was insufficient for, the foundation, and that it ought to be projected on some other plan. Mr. Mang however, returned fur answer, that they were to adopt oak piles instead of beech. With this direction they were bound to comply and did comply accordingly to the terms of the specification. He also submitted, that by those terms the piles of the specified length would not reach the stratum of gravel, therefore the issue given for the crown was immaterial. He was arguing in • support of this position when we went to press. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Tuts DAY: James Mash, who was brought up before on a previous day, and was opposed by Wm. Wilberforce, Esq., was brought up this day for judgment. Mr. Commissioner Bowxst, before whom he was previously examined, observed that the insolvent had very ungratefully en deavoured to gain farther credit, by film representations, after having received great kindnesses from Mr. W. He was for remanded six calendar months, at the suit of his op posing creditor. Benjamin NM.,tilf, the Comedian, Was heard on his petition ; no person opposed his discharge. The applicant stated, that the cause of his insolvency arose from the destruction of the Royalty Theatre by fire, and his having a wifa'and ten children. The COURT said, that there was nothing objectionable in the schedule, and in discharging the insolvent admonished him not to appear there again. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • HATTON-GARDEN.—(Txts DAY.) Thomas Jones, a watchman of the Foundling estate, was charged with drunkenness and neglect of duty, and also with at tempting to stab his wife;..—Ordered to be discharged from his situation. Deference is the most complicate, the most indirect, and the moat elegant of all compliments.—Sheastone. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 23.—The demand for cotton continues good, and the market bears a firm appearance. We with a certainty of a ha f v u e rt m he uc r much c o k e ; in i g nd in eed su i g t a is r a t t ho advanced ur pr stoc i cesks , will soon be in a smaller compass than ever was known. , STATE OF TRADE.—The present week has pro duced nothing of improvement in the market, nor, indeed was it to b e expecte d ; i n fact, a greater depression has been experienced. Still, however, when the time of the year is considered, there is nothing more in this than is usual ; and when we take into account the small stock of goods on hand, the very small production alto, compared with former years, we feel fully warranted in expecting an early and considerable demand after Christmas.—Stockport Advertiser. TRADL---DISTRESS.—We are not ill the habit of filling our columns with narratives of the stagnation of business, and dismal details of distress around us, being convinced that such insertions can do no good, while very frequently they do much barn,. It is with regret. however, that we must state that busi ness in general, is very depressed, and that the distress in Glas gow, and in the districts around it, ill amongst multitudes ex ceedingly se vere . W e b e li eve at no Pe r i o d , did ever so much and so severe mi sery pr upon our population nor does there appear any prospect of better times being at hand. p r i vate c h ar ity has done much, and will yet do much; but it is, we believe totally in adequate to remove or to relieve the sore and extensive privations which prevail amongst us. The public purse must he opened and liberally opened, and every one must be made to contribute his share to remove the evil. While we state these thing, however, regarding'the state of matters in this quarter, we are happy to have it in our power to state, that the Mercantile letter. received here last night from M anc h e ster, state that there had been a great demand for goods in that market on Tuesday. We hope it will continue....Margow C our i er . • FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The Prospectus says, its object is to give a prompt and faithful review of the contents of the best English Periodical Works—lnteresting Extracts from the London and Provincial Newspapers—the State of the British Markets, Parliamentary Intelligence, &c., and ori ginal Communications on British Interests, Commerce, Industry, Ice. POOR BARNARD, THE COMEDIAN.-4. night Or two ago this once favourite comedian of the Drury-lane establish ment leas sitting, with scarcely a rag to cover him, at the Harp, in Russell-street, when some person present, observing him faint and hungry, gave him some boiled beef, of which be ate so rave nously, that he was suddenly seized with a stupor. The waiter spoke to him, but he could make no answer; his legs had (leveed to do their office, and he was carried home to his lodgings, No. 10, Russell-court. A gentleman, named Hill, connected with the profession, waited on Mr. Dowton, and explained poor Barnar4's situation, and Mr. Hughes, of Drury-lane Theatre, visited hir n directly, and humanely ordered him to be taken the greatest cafe of. Mr. Coles, surgeon, has also been instrue,ted to attend the poor fellow, who inevitably cannot survive long. se r v ant girl of Mr. Yabbicom, jun., for three successiv e n i g h ts , i n SOMNAMBULISM.—A few days since at T ones ,; a spite of every effort made to prevent it, in which the girl herself (distressed beyond meaenre at the danger attending those uncon• scions acts) most anxiously joined, arose from her b e d, no d walked d own th e principal street in the town, in a abate of nudity, going in one instance into Bridgetown, upwards of three quarters of a mile from Mr. Yabbicom's residence.

On Wednesday, a woman named Rootkin, residing at Kelvedon, Herta, went to work in the fields, !cavil* her female child, about three years old, in the care of a nigh dweller, named Craruner, with full confidence that it would have ' the necessary protection.

Earl Stanhope in the pamphlet which we yesterday noticed, throws down his glove the champion of the at "liberal rae b l y p l o ev li e ti l agricultural int erest , an d curr i es t h e war i nto t h e enemy ' s country, politicians," a , w„ politicalholevolleeocofnsnomeeirsstaa;idansye,,asmnas _ nufacturers,' who employ that " pernicious" engine called " machinery" to facilitate the sale of their goods. But, if great landed proprietors will inveigh against members of the monied and manufacturing interests, for pursuing their several vocations by means which appear to them the most expedient, are the said great personages quite sure that tfiCy themselves stand only in a defensive position, and that by the outcry against any change of the Corn Law of 18111, which . itijelf effected a tremendous change in the general, condition 0 4 : the country, they are not striving to perpetuate an unjust ate % upon others, instead of protect ing their own natural inheriPsnce from injury ? Look at the present' state of the landholurs compared with what it was before the introduction of the :9 per cent. property tax under the Whig Administration of .1806. The pro perty-tax was for the support of the war--an object, of course dear to Noble Lords and country Gentle:nen. By them the tax was voted; but by whom paid ? Nor, un questionably, by those who enacted it. The first step taken by the landed interest, was to raise their rents to such a pitch as effectually covered, not merely the income-tax, but the assessed-taxes raised to the war level, together with the increased prices of all the article as well of luxury as of subsistence; thus taxing others, and exempt ing themselves. Well, then, thus matters continued until the peace. At the peace, it would have been but just that a fall of assessed-taxes, of income-tax, and war prices, should be followed by a reduction of rents to such an amount as would 'care the landlords where they had for merly stood in relation tc.; the rest of the community. This, however, would not do at all ! the maxim of the landholders was to keep all they had got iN the way of profit, and to shake off every burden by whic; their advantages had, during the war, been qualified. Ti.'eY foresaw a fall of prices to that point which would saint a possible inroad upon their monopoly, since the p ro bib;!ion extended only to a market price falling short of 635. pe..r quarter. What did they do ? They bullied their humble derudent the Minister, into a substitution of 80s. for 635., fo? no purpose under heaven but to keep up those rents which had been raised to throw upon other men's shoulders the war taxes above alluded to. The following year after that in which the corn-bill was carried, the property-tax was repealed,—the triple assessment was besides got rid 'of, — the professed motives of the country gentlemen for doubling and trebling their rents had no longer any existence : then upon what plea but such as honour, truth, and jus tice must disdain to bring forward, could they defend the " pernicious machinery' which they had resorted to for raising rents, after the original motive or pretence for "in troducing that pernicious machinery" had been swept away, and utterly annihilated ? The fact is most disgrace ful to those landholders who taunt the fundholder with the immense augmentation of his property. The man who purchased into the funds in 1792, when the 3 per cents. were much higher than at present, has just, the same in come which he then enjoyed, with a considerable diminu tion of his capital. The man who had 1,00) acres in 1792, yielding him 1,0001. a year, retains his acres undi tninished, and derives from them a rental of 2,5001. per annum. So much for one view of these respective inte rests. The landlopls have, in reality, taken and kept a terrible start, beyond all the other classes of society. They have still a monopoly in the home market of the article in which they deal, whilst the commercial part of the nation, which had likewise its monopoly of the foreign market, ha. been reduced by the peace to its natural resources and di mensions. Let us now share alike th e l o t w hi c h i s pre pared for us, and all sink equally with the ebb—as all were buoyed up by the flood stream of the national fortunes.— We ought, perhaps, not to name in any relation with Lord Stanhope's pamphlet, not even in contrast with it, an able . . - and inpeed prophetic little work, entitled the Question fairly staled, which was published by Mr Broughton in 181.5, when the corn-law was then in contemplation. The true state of the opposite interests was there well deve loped, and the course of argument which we have in part adopted was pursued by the author with perspicuity and force.—Times. Mercantile people of honour, and the public in general, will be glad, by the proceedings of last night in the house of Commons, to see that Mr. Brogden's return to the chair of ways and means is adjourned; and a . Sir Alexander Grant—a man of great experience, Mr. Canning says---is to discharge the functions o f th e o ffi ce ad interim. Mr. Brogden says he is the victim of calumny, and all that kind of stuff. It is very well for men charged with a grievous offence to use such language. Mr. Brogden may be innocent or guilty, but wo can tell him that these are words of course, and which occur every day in a certain Court at no great distance from our office, which we are loth to name. Before we recapitulate, as we shall have occasion to do, the heads of this person's, suppOsed delirn quency, we shall advert to the chief topic on which he re lies for his exculpation—the report of a set of Arigna Pro prietors, whom Mr. Brogden praises " as a competent tri bunal," and which report, he says, " was most conclusive in his favour. It was subsequently adopted by the pro prietors at large; and the same persons, after the real de linquents were removed, and new Directors appointed, called upon him to till the offi ce o f Chairman. ' Now, without stopping for one moment to consider whether a tribunal composed of such persons was competent to try Mr. Brogden,—supposing, also, that not the slightest im putation, up to this moment, had been cast upon his con duet,—we shall coolly ask the question, whether a person, celled par excellence' to be Chairman of the Aligns, Mine Company (to say nothing of his almost countless directorships in other bubble speculations), is fit to be Chairman of Ways and Means in the British House of Commons ? Whether the .two of fices are what artists call " in good keeping ?" Next, for the facts of Mr. Brogden's case. He took, he pocketed, and he still retains, like the knaves who plun dered the Greeks, upwards of one thousand pounds, an aliquot part of the sum of fifteen thousand pounds, the proceeds of a swindling transaction. lie says lie thought (he thought) the money was due to him from the sale of some of his shares of the Arigna mines. Did he ask whe boaryseill:thionugg thsuepy ther the thousand and forty one pounds which he pocketted ht came froM that source ? If not, is he in the habit of re s?"l:usitlighe ceiving such large sums of money without asking from they from i n n l e a ; no a t n h d e r pose, them to proceed from one source, when, in fact, proceeded from the sale of his shares. Allowing him, for argument's sake, to have had the shares, did he commission any one to sell them ? Did he make any transfer of then ? If not, is he in the habitof receiving sums of money to the amount of above a thousand pounds as an equivalent for property of which he never made any legal conveyance —for property, the purchaser of which has parted with his money, without taking in return any scrap or iota of evi dence, by which he can show his right to the possession and the use o f the thing sold ? If t hi s b e not Si.r Brog den's general practice, but only the practice of the Aligns Mine Company, and his practice as connected with that speculation, we must say that it is a very respectable com- Pan Y--- yea even a delightful company. Such companies and such sales, o f d • a nd such habits doi ng business, have b een of great serv i ce to the nation recently—have carr i e d plenty and happiness into the bosoms of thousand s o f fa . milies—.have enriched and wen stabilit y to banking con cerns hist year; and the hairman of such Companies on fait i n deed to be exalted.—lbid. We think it likely that the late panic for a rise in the Stock Exchange arose from a plan of a house in London connected with a house in Paris. The Paris house we h ave been informed, sonic time since, got into its posses airm the greater part of the French Three per Cants ; the latter, however, do not amount to more than about 1,000,000/. Commanding therefore, the Paris Three per Cents' market, the plan was, by means of small sales, to have a suecessionof prices one rising higher than ishotl)er for instance, 70, 701, 71, 71f, 72, sc.; to nuke it be be.
